Probing in Millmage

Is it necessary to use a XYZ Probe Block with MillMage or is there a way to manually set my XYZ = 0? I really do not want to purchase additional hardware just to set the XYZ. Otherewise, is the only option to export the file and use something like gSender?

Thanks!


Jog your axis where you would like Zero to land and click these buttons in the move panel.

Helpful, but not necessary. You can Jog the head somewhere, then click the “set zero” buttons in the ‘Move’ window.

The button on far-left zero’s all of them at once, or you can zero individually. :slight_smile:

if i am understanding correctly , if i click zero workspace x and y , should the green square move to position of red square and become the new 0 and start point
when i zero x as in 2nd photo it moves last position to left
so what happens when i run job its moves the whole job over on the table



theses are the only custom gcodes ive added
could it be the G0 X10 Y10 F2520 causing this


The “Zero Axis” buttons set the Work Coordinate Offset in the CNC control. Much like placing User Origin on a laser.

The Grid in MillMage represents the Stock or raw workpiece size, not the machine boundary like LightBurn.

When you click Zero Axis, you are telling your control where the corner of your stock is and moving the XYZ zero position from which your program is defined. It is expected that the whole job would move.

The G0 X10 Y10 is just a move to a position to initiate the probe routine during a tool change.
